>What am I doing wrong? The easiest way to see how this stuff works is to look at a postinst script that already does it. Pick an existing alternative and look at /var/lib/dpkg/info/$PACKAGE.postinst. I think you want this: # update-alternatives --install x-www-browser /usr/bin/x-www-browser \ /usr/local/firefox/firefox 3 That sets up /usr/local/firefox/firefox as an alternative for /usr/sbin/x-www-browser . -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
